THE RIVAL rappers came to blows at New York Fashion Week in a wild skirmish that involved hair-pulling and shoe throwing.

SOMEBODY call the fashion police!

There was a major scuffle between rival rappers Cardi B and Nicki Minaj at the swanky Harper’s Bazaar Icons fashion week bash at the Plaza Friday night. The wild skirmish included hair-pulling and shoe throwing.

The pair, decked in black tie gowns, were walking off the red carpet when they crossed paths and things came to blows, Page Six reports.

“It was bad,” said a source. “They were separated by security, but Cardi was still trying to get at her. She took of a giant red shoe and threw it at Nicki — who was being blocked up against a wall by huge security guard.”

Cardi was then led into another room while Nicki was held back with security in front of her.

There was a giant fist full of hair on the floor.


One of Cardi’s assistants came and grabbed it and took it with her.” As for the shoe? Sources tell us someone from Nicki’s camp was heard saying “keep it.”

Summed up another source, “Wigs pulled, Cardi carried off.”

A source said that “Cardi was escorted out … She has a knot on her forehead from getting hit.”

Another source said, “it started because someone pushed Cardi from behind. She went flying.”

Another witness said that members of the rappers’ entourages — including Love and Hip Hop star Rah Ali, who was with Minaj — got involved, and that Cardi B’s dress wound up ripped. “It was ripped totally down the back. Her a** was showing,” said a gobsmacked fashionista of the scene.

Another witness said of the melee, “It was everyone’s people,” and, “Cardi’s standing there with her dress ripped and underwear showing and yelling with a bunch of guys holding her back.”

One guest’s video allegedly shows Ali “trying to go after Cardi after Nicki was against the wall, and Cardi screaming obscenities.”

Meantime in a statement of sorts after the incident, Cardi B posted on Instagram: “I’ve worked to [sic] hard and come too far to let anybody f**k with my success! Bitches talk all that s — t in they raps but in real life they p***y. This s**t really is for entertainment!”
